FloatnFly Posted July 20, 2017 Report Share Posted July 20, 2017 (edited) For those that aren't on facebook, Mike Borger recently recently went on a trip to Algonquin back lakes and caught some monster brookies with his son. He did not want to give out the location of the lakes in the videos and pictures he was posting. Fair enough, happens all the time. But now, some jealous idiot has taken it to the next level of stupid. They contacted the MNR requesting Mikes camp locations via the Freedom of Information Act. Algonquin does keep record of where you camp. If this goes through, those fishing trips to hidden lakes with monster fish, won't be so secret anymore. Absolute stupidity!

GBW Posted July 20, 2017 Report Share Posted July 20, 2017 That is total Bull that they want that and probably feel because they read his report they should be given GPS location. So sad how things have gotten and they are only getting worse in this world of "gimmy, gimmy" people out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vance Posted July 20, 2017 Report Share Posted July 20, 2017 What a new low has this person sunk to,I can't believe that someone would use the the freedom of information act to find someones fishing spots. Its a real waste of the MNR's time for sure.. Vance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralph Field Posted July 20, 2017 Report Share Posted July 20, 2017 I agree, a new low indeed. Mike now knows he cannot give any any information about location. It's a sad world we live in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woodenboater Posted July 20, 2017 Report Share Posted July 20, 2017 there was a time when all the rangers wanted to know when I went interior was the colour of my tent, and tarp if I had one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manitoubass2 Posted July 20, 2017 Report Share Posted July 20, 2017 Unreal. Especially knowing Mike put in a tonne of legwork himself to organize the trip/lakes etc Jesus people can be rediculous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grimsbylander Posted July 20, 2017 Report Share Posted July 20, 2017 I suggest we request this guys home address under the Freedom of Information Act. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris.brock Posted July 20, 2017 Report Share Posted July 20, 2017 I suggest we request this guys home address under the Freedom of Information Act. That's exactly what I said on FB, hahaha, Mike doesn't think it would work but it's only $5 for an FOI request, why not try? At least it might bog things down.

jimmer Posted July 20, 2017 Report Share Posted July 20, 2017 The real sad part is that Mike just might stop sharing his adventures with the rest of us. What a jerk....... I wish the MNR would have told the guy where to go, which would be the proper response in my books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodenboater Posted July 20, 2017 Report Share Posted July 20, 2017 So the take away, in the end, is that we're all going to stop posting TR's on social media unless it's a very well known area that everyone and their mother, knows about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Bacon Posted July 20, 2017 Report Share Posted July 20, 2017 Camping locations are personal information that should not be released.I would consider filing a complaint to police because the request could be considered stalking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanD Posted July 20, 2017 Report Share Posted July 20, 2017 You know if this guy would have actually contacted Mike, via a PM or phone; Mike would have likely supplied him with all the info he wanted. He sure helped me, when my brother and I went to Beteau Lake. Dan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farsider Posted July 20, 2017 Report Share Posted July 20, 2017 If they comply at all with this request, my guess is all pertinent info will be redacted. Silly beyond measure. Applicant should be exposed and properly tarred and feathered. Cheers, Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Posted July 20, 2017 Report Share Posted July 20, 2017 I think if he goes with the fact that a minor boy was camping at those locations and it would be against the minors civil rights to disclose that info it may get blocked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
